About Myrsa Evershield
Myrsa Evershield, was an Ulfen shieldmaiden and cleric of the empyreal lord Tanagaar who died alongside her beloved on their quest to slay a linnorm. Myrsa is a martyr’s shield (Pathfinder Gamemastery Guide 89).
She has offered to accompany you on your future battles, so long as you pledge to defend the innocent and provide a donation of 650 gp to the church of Tanagaar or otherwise spend it on causes that Tanagaar approves of, such as on purchasing and donating supplies to defend vulnerable settlements from dangerous monsters or funding animal sanctuaries.
If you gain Infamy while carrying her, she refuses to work with you in the future. Myrsa is an independent person with her own goals; when bringing her to a table, inform your GM. The GM can choose to play Myrsa, or to delegate the task to a player.
Roleplay and Combat Notes: Myrsa is particularly happy to travel with fellow worshipers of her god, and she good-naturedly tries to convert people in the group she is traveling with to her faith. Tanagaar is a lawful good archon empyreal lord whose areas of concern are the night, owls, and watchfulness. His edicts are to defend lawful borders, scout or patrol for evil, and wait to strike until you have the advantage, and his anathema are to abandon your post, tolerate poaching, or torment animals.
In combat, she uses her reaction to defend allies and innocents whenever possible regardless of the PCs’ wishes, unless she would be utterly destroyed in the process. As a reminder, characters cannot accrue Infamy unless the GM has warned them that their action would accrue Infamy and they decided to proceed with it anyway.
Marty's Shield
The martyr’s shield can use 1 reaction each round that, when raised, it uses to Shield Block to protect an ally adjacent to you, with the effects of the Shield Warden feat. The martyr’s shield uses this reaction whether you would prefer it did so or not. The martyr’s shield can be upgraded to a stronger form of sturdy shield by paying the difference in cost between its current type of sturdy shield and the new type.
Other notes (Khaul specific)
Since being worn by Khaul, Myrsa has found her material form somewhat bolstered by Khaul's own strong defensive and crafting skills.
Myrsa is also a shield ally (Champion class feature) raising her hardness by 2, and her breakthreshold by 50%
She also benefits from his tinkering (dwarven reinforcement) to add another +1 to her hardness
Hireling (expert, professional)
Myrsa is also an "expert" and "professional" Hireling.
She is Expert in Diplomacy (though sometimes that is hard to believe), and Society. She is also an Expert in both Tanagaar and Linnorm lore.

Myrsa's tale:
Seemingly having relegated Khaul to mere shield arm, Myrsa is more than happy to tell her sad tale.
"My beloved and grew up in the far north..." she starts. It turns out that even though she was a shieldmaiden and a strong women in her own right, her father thought her choice of spouse was beneath her. "So we took Quest to slay a mighty Linnorm to prove his worth and our love for each other." she continues.
"Eventually we came upon the foul beast, resting after devouring an entire village of my people. Stealthily we crept upon it. Our threefold aim to make it pay for its rampage, to protect the other villages in the area, and to prove to my father that my beloved was worthy of me."
Steam from the tea-pot condenses on the shield, for surely there is no other explanation for the sudden dampness upon her face. "While the wyrm fell - thought mighty was the battle, for even taken asleep they are powerful and fell creatures. But its dying curse rift us both of our lives."
The shield seems to shrug "Eventually I awoke again, not in my own body but bound to this shield. So here I remain, Myrsa Evershield, watchful and vigilant."
